Describe Your Business:
I worked as a Therapist and was invited to join the Psychology Department of the University of Hartford. Concurrently, I worked with children and adolescents at North Central Hospice where I developed a Bereavement Program for children who had lost a loved one. Through the program I worked with school psychologists who referred their students to me. But it was a presentation I gave to a class called, "Collaborative Consultation within the Schools" where I was encouraged to do more with schools and the path to Huntington began. I don't want to be confined to one particular school/age group; I wanted to continue my work with students, while giving back to my community. I explored a variety of educational resources for students - "is this good enough for my kids" was one measuring stick. The other, "does the program live up to the standards I have based on my background in teaching and counseling?" The result - I found Huntington to be the most sound fit, offering assessments and supplemental education for all ages.
